    i never really got what was colourful about o sullivan's character , not a criticism of him but putting a towel over his face , walking out during a match , playing left handed , gestures about ladies ***** , eating crisps , telford york or milton keynes , amongst a bunch of media nerds , ooh the character , good to watch but character ? hmm

      Yep, have to agree.

      • I actually totally agree with Trains on this one! For the first 3 or 4 frames of his match today he just yawned his head off when Li was on a shot.... looked like he’d been out on an all night bender! Great to watch when he’s in the mood, but I always cringe just before he is interviewed, you never know what tosh is about to roll out, although to be fair he’s been slightly better recently.. I think

          personally i don't take much notice of what snooker players say anyway though , i mean they're in a relatively sanitsed area in a sanitised venue interviewed by a sanitised media and in this case the same place for months with a conveyor belt of events where they're not going to get similar money elsewhere , and comparing to the virgo was it 84 days is off anyway as pro snooker in relative terms was much more just an exhibition then anyway .

            • Forget the snooker. I just can't get over how perfect Selby's hair is!

                Hehe. He's lucky. I am at the first baldness stage.

                  Exactly, you put filler between the slate joints and check it every time the cloth is changed, which is every three or four days, no excuse for slack working practises. I think the roll up snooker should be banned anyway, a mean spirited cowardly shot that's ripe for exploitation of the miss rule, especially after a fluke
                  Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare
                  but don't try to get yourself elected, for if you do you'll have to cut your hair

                  • Selby's interview on Eurosport made me smile, he;s obviously still pzvissed with ROS, making cheap jibes about him and his tip! Lolz. He will either rollercoaster ROS tomorrow or just possibly if ROS hears this interview, it may just spur him into the kind of form he will need to beat him.

                    Either way, it looks like a needle match to me...

                      Don't confuse colourful with likeable, Alex Higgins was another colourful character. Enough said

                          Love a bit of niggle in a match, makes it like boxing!! If GeordieDS is interested in this match it will be because we will see some niggle and grudge and the best thing about that is who handles it the best.... at the moment Ron looks like he got out the wrong side of his bed every day and has become diabetic in his eating habits!?!? Either way its gonna be interesting to see how that grudge bears out, my money is on Selby... but you can never rule ROS out... should be golden, the Soft Lad might be made up!!

                            Could be as much theatre as sport , great entertainment in prospect. I am prepared to wager half a bag of Walkers cheese n onion on Rocket Ronnie

                            • Looking forward to this. Selby must be buoyed up with those tons. Ronnie, meanwhile, plays like he's lost discipline. Hey, this is about a top title - you know, a title from an historical hotbed of world snooker. Imagine having that crystallware on yer mantepiece. Bring it on...

                                Ronnie mentioned in his post match interview that the miss rule needs looking... Lets also not forget the negative rolling into the reds safety shot!

                                I can’t remember exactly what was said by the commentator in that UK final match (I think it was that match), something about they trialled a rule placing the cue ball on a side cushion after something had happened??? Does anyone know what that something was? I’m going to have to re-watch the match now just for that aren’t I!!
